A DVD case cover showing a girl with wolf ears, tail and long brown hair is leaning forward on the floor. Around her are red apples, wheat and wood. The title "Spice and Wolf" is visible in white lettering at the top, with the Japanese title beneath it. The logo for Funimation Entertainment is viewable in the bottom-right corner.
The cover of the complete first season DVD collection released by Funimation Entertainment on December 22, 2009

The Spice and Wolf anime television series is based on the light novel series of the same name, written by Isuna Hasekura and illustrated by Jū Ayakura.[1] The episodes are directed by Takeo Takahashi and animated and produced by Imagin.[2] The story follows a 25-year-old man traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence who meets Holo, a female wolf deity of wheat. Holo, bound to a nearby town by an old promise to ensure good harvest, escapes with Lawrence when the townspeople stopped believing in her. Lawrence takes her north toward her homeland, Yoitsu, and she helps him with his business transactions in return.

The first season of the anime aired between January 9 and March 26, 2008 on the Chiba TV Japanese television network,[3] and was later released released on six DVD compilation volumes, each containing two episodes, though the first compilation contains three episodes.[4] The volumes were released between April 2 and August 29, 2008 by Pony Canyon.[5][6] The third volume, released on May 30, 2008, contains episode six of the television broadcast in addition to the unaired episode seven, which is included as an original video animation (OVA).[4][7] A Blu-ray Disc (BD) box set of the series was released on January 30, 2009 in Japan by Pony Canyon.[8] The anime is licensed for release in English by Kadokawa Pictures USA and Funimation Entertainment,[9][10] and a complete 13-episode Region 1 DVD box set was released on December 22, 2009 in North America.[11]

A second season of the anime titled Spice and Wolf II aired 12 episodes between July 9 and September 24, 2009. These episodes were released on four BD/DVD compilation volumes, each of which contains three episodes,[12][13] between October 7, 2009 and January 6, 2010.[14][15] Most of the staff from the first season returned, though Toshimitsu Kobayashi replaced Kazuya Kuroda as the character designer and chief animation director and Brain's Base managed the animation instead of Imagin.[16] The script for both seasons was written by Naruhisa Arakawa,[2][16] and the voice actors from the first season retained their roles.[17] Another OVA, animated by Brain's Base, was released bundled with a picture book, written and illustrated by the light novel creators, entitled Spice and Wolf: Wolf and Gold Wheat (「狼と香辛料」狼と金の麦穂, Ōkami to Kōshinryō Ōkami to Kin no Mugiho). The bundle was released by ASCII Media Works on April 30, 2009 under their Dengeki Bunko Visual Novel imprint.[18] Funimation licensed Spice and Wolf II and will be releasing the series in English.[19]

Two pieces of theme music are used for each season: one opening theme and one ending theme. For the first season, the opening theme is "Tabi no Tochū" (旅の途中) by Natsumi Kiyoura, and the ending theme is "Ringo Hiyori (The Wolf Whistling Song)" (リンゴ日和 〜The Wolf Whistling Song) by Rocky Chack.[2] For the second season, the opening theme is "Mitsu no Yoake" (蜜の夜明け) by Akino Arai, and the ending theme is "Perfect World" by Rocky Chack.[20] The background music soundtrack for both seasons is written by Yuji Yoshino.[2][16]
